Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz featuring parallel, fibrous inclusions (originally crocidolite replaced by quartz) that produce a chatoyant, silky sheen. It typically displays golden to brown bodycolor with a moving 'eye' of light across the surface, and related varieties include hawk's eye (blue) and bull's eye (red). With Mohs hardness 7 and good toughness, it is suitable for cabochons, beads and carvings.
